I don't know much about DocBook, but isn't it easy to create html, pdf and ps files from DocBook format? I've really liked the way the handbook and a few other docs have been distributed this way. I'm not sure I've ever seen comments handled in document form, but for all the other information the document format seems easier to setup than a website and might require fewer resources (hardware & bandwidth).
